Reduced bandwidth: a qualitative strengthening of twin-width in minor-closed classes (and beyond)

É Bonnet, O Kwon, DR Wood - arXiv preprint arXiv:2202.11858, 2022 - arxiv.org
In a reduction sequence of a graph, vertices are successively identified until the graph has
one vertex. At each step, when identifying $ u $ and $ v $, each edge incident to exactly one …

Proof of the clustered Hadwiger conjecture

Hadwiger's Conjecture asserts that every K_h-minor-free graph is properly (h-1)-colourable.
We prove the following improper analogue of Hadwiger's Conjecture: for fixed h, every K_h …
